Noah

Noah is one of the two main characters in the game. He is an off-seer from the nation of Keeves, and in combat, he plays the role of an offensive attacker. His ouroboros form interlinks with Mio, and he uses a sword that resembles the one used by the original Xenoblade Chronicles protagonist, Shulk.

Mio

Mio is the other main character of the game and is also an off-seer from the nation of Agnus. In combat, she plays the role of a defender using two fans, and her speed allows her to avoid most damage. Her Ouroboros interlinks with Noah's, and her appearance features cat ears that are reminiscent of Nia from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Eunie

Eunie is the childhood friend of Noah and Lanz and plays the leading role of the healer in combat. She uses a Gunrod, a cane-shaped ranged weapon that is best suited to support from the rear lines in battle. She interlinks with Taion in her Ouroboros form, and her appearance has the unique feature of wings sprouting from her head.

Taion

Taion is a brilliant tactician from the nation of Agnus and plays the role of support and healing from the back lines. His ability allows him to use origami, also called Katashiro, to support his team. He can also use healing and stat-buffing from the rear to increase his team's power, and his Ouroborous interlinks with Eunie.

Lanz

Lanz serves as a powerful tank and is the childhood friend of Noah from the nation of Keves. He serves as a powerful defender and tank using a large sword that also doubles as a shield in combat, letting him soak up damage on his team's part. His Ouroboros forms link up with Sena's, and he sports a unique blue and silver look.

Sena

Sena is a powerful and short-tempered warrior from the nation of Agnus. Even with her small stature, she can deliver heavy damage to the enemy and be considered a glass cannon character. She utilizes a massive hammer during battle to deal large amounts of damage over a large area. Her Ouroboros form interlinks with Lanz from a giant mech that resembles those in the spin-off Xenoblade Chronicles X.
